Running on my lunch break continues to serve me well. Last night, I packed a bag and parked it by my laptop bag. Yes, I felt like a “bag lady” this morning as I hauled all my bags into the office. But it was well worth it.
I seem to be on a roll lately with my old friend Ms. Insomnia. Bad sleep, broken sleep, no sleep – you name it. I’ve perfected it. Add a stiff neck to that concoction and I feel, oh, about 94 years old.
But not after my lunch run. Nosirrreeeeeee!

My new friend at work stopped by my cube and lit up when she saw my running bag taking up residence in my cubicle. I was on a call, but all it took was a little whispering and excited expressions to solidify a running partner for my run today. Hooray! My day had started off rough; not just because of the bad sleep and the stiff neck, but the sunny, no precipitation weather conditions that always brings on the worst in the commute. “4 car pile up where????” Ugh. I trusted my Garmin to lead me away from the mess. Although I did avoid that particular incident, I still added a good 25 minutes to my commute. I’m pretty sure there was an audible growl emanating from me as I walked into the office. And I hadn’t even started work yet. Groan.
But not after my lunch run.
Anyone notice a trend??
I am a royal b**ch if I don't get to exercise on my lunch hour. It really makes me mad when we have to have a stupid staff meeting or something dumb like that. I mean, really! I'm supposed to be spinning then!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more on the lunchtime meetings!! Don't they know they're better off letting us run/spin - we'll be much easier to work with :)
DeleteWhat a great post! Not after my lunch run indeed! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mandy! Are you still on cloud 9 from your 1/2 PR???
DeleteAw, that's nice. Next time, just skip to the run. LOL
ReplyDeleteMoms know best - I should definitely just skip to the run!
DeleteLove it! Definitely gives me something to think about! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie! I've always thought lunchtime would be perfect; it just took once to see how feasible it is. And how rewarding :)
DeleteI used to work out during my lunch hour and it was the best part of my day. I loved it.
ReplyDeleteTHe best part Christi is that I've got the a perfect route where I just walk out my office building and start running. No cars, no aggravation.
